It can get annoying and pretty expensive keeping the s9's in tip top shape! I'm glad that I got a couple control boards now so that I won't have to wait if another one goes out.
Are S9's prone to failing? what tends to go wrong? what causes it? I guess heat wont help with the life. I have ordered a new S9 and reading this post has got me wondering, when is it likely to go wrong? will it last a year? or is it more like 6 months?
